ProcHeapViewer : Easily scan the heap information of currently running processes using this speedy and portable application with intuitive options
ProcHeapViewer is a tiny and portable application you can use to scan the heaps of any running process. It aims to speed up the analysis compared to Windows heap API features. The program can be handled by those interested in detecting and researching vulnerability spots related to heaps.
Simple interface for heap analysis
When it comes to the interface, ProcHeapViewer adopts a normal window with a clear-cut structure, where the currently running processes are automatically identified at startup.You can pick a process after studying their names in a drop-down menu, in order to find out the heap node index number, node base address, block count, committed and allocated size, in addition to flags. More details are available for the heap block index, block address and size, allocation type, and status.Apart from the fact that you can refresh information if any changes were made to the processes in the meantime, there are no other notable options provided by this app. It doesn't implement settings for copying or exporting data to file.
No installation necessary
The entire tool's wrapped in a single .exe file that can be saved anywhere on the disk or stored on a removable storage device, in order to directly run it on any PC with minimum effort and no previous setup.It doesn't need DLLs or other components to run, create files on the PC without your permission, or add new entries to your system registry.
Evaluation and conclusion
Heap analysis jobs were carried out fast in our testing, while ProcHeapViewer remained light on system resources consumption, since it needed low CPU and RAM to work properly. We haven't come across any stability issues, as it didn't freeze, crash or prompt errors. Thanks to its approachable options, it can be easily used.
